the governor of new york as a disaster from hurricane sandy will cost about $30 billion in his state, new jersey's estimate is still coming in. it could be that high. we need additional disaster aid, with the support it or would you insist that it be offset by cuts elsewhere in the budget? >> i would like to see whatever the final numbers are here and there are preliminary estimates. and when you indicate that we desired to be offset, many of us desired that -- that was not the case. that is outside the debt deal, the disaster relief. but this is the interesting situation we find ourselves in it. in order to help new york and new jersey, federal government does not have any money. we have to go to the federal reserve or borrow more money. we will look to see what those are. but that becomes part of the scenario. this explosive situation of the fiscal waterfall or whichever you might call that. we will see with the numbers are. >> i think one of the things about disaster relief in the northeast is, there are people suffering there. and we have a track record of helping people out in th

speaker, all along the east coast, families are struggling to recover from superstorm sandy. that makes avoiding the fiscal cliff even more important. unless we come together in this body to reach across the aisle and compromise, the federal emergency management agency, fema, which is helping thousands and thousands of people in small businesses recover from this disaster, could be cut as much as $848 million. cutting fema would be a man-made disaster that would cripple relief efforts in my home state of new york and in many other states. i don't believe that anyone in this conbye -- in this body campaigned on raising the unemployment rate or campaigned to see the u.s. economy fall back into a recession, which would happen if we wept over this fiscal cliff. i hope that no one -- went over this fiscal cliff. i hope no one here wants to place a significant new tax burden on the middle class. in these final days of congress, let's reach across the aisle, let's reach to one another and work together on a critical problem we need to solve. we need to avoid the fiscal live. thank y
